In the days gone by, truth be told, Pakistan got the better of arch-rivals India on cricket field a regular basis, most of them at home and in Sharjah. This is clearly reflected when we see Indo-pak test head to head and green team's dominance is even more evident in ODI head to head but in past decade, it has to be said that blue boys have dominated which is why they are leading on India v Pakistan T20 head to head..

First ever India v Pakistan T20 match
Was played at Kingsmead in Durban on 14 September 2007 which had ended as a tie as India managed 141/9 (Rohit Uthappa 50, MS Dhoni 33, Md Asif 4/18) and Pakistan 141/7 (Misbah 53, Irfan Pathan 2/20). These days, Super Over decides tied T20 matches but back then, ICC had one over bowl-out rule where bowlers from each side tried to hit the stumps. Indians had won that 3-0 with Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa all hitting the stumps while Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi missed.

Highest scores
78 not out off 61 balls by Virat Kohli at Colombo on 30 September 2012 is highest individual score by a batsman in India v Pakistan T20 matches, followed by 75 by Gautam Gambhir, 72 by Yuvraj Singh and 61 by Mohammad Hafeez.
